THE CITY
Songquan Deng
In 1857, the city of Orlando oicially adopted its
name. Though there are many stories about how
the name Orlando was chosen, one of the most
prominent explanations is that then-judge James
Speer named it after a character from
Shakespeare’s “As You Like It.”
Major events in Orlando history include 1965,
when Walt Disney announced his plans to build
Walt Disney World–one reason why the masses
still ock to Orlando today. The other major
event happened when the original airport was
built in 1962.
Orlando has a rapidly growing $13.4 billion
technology industry that employs 53,000 people.
It is recognized nationally for the industries of
digital media, aviation, software and aerospace.
More than 150 international companies have
facilities in Orlando.
Orlando’s climate is humid and subtropical with
two major seasons a year. From June to
September, the weather is hot and rainy, while
the dry season lasts from October through May.
DO & SEE
Anilah
From theme parks to natural parks on the lakes,
there is much to see and experience in the
greater Orlando area. Today, this city has more
theme parks and entertainment attractions than
anywhere else in the world. Add these selections

The Magic Kingdom
This is where all the
magic happens! The
Magic Kingdom–one of
four theme parks in the
Walt Disney World
family–is the home of the
Cinderella Castle. Designed like a giant wheel,
the paths of the spokes lead to the seven
dierent themed areas: Main Street USA,
Tomorrowland, Mickey’s Toontown Fair,
Fantasyland, Liberty Square, Frontierland, and
Adventureland. See your favorite Disney
characters, attractions, and behind-the-scenes
tours. It is best to go in the o-season.
